... who was the fool who made the call to remove our best pitcher (Lance Johnson) in the 9th inning against Samford? He only pitched 2 innings, giving up 1 hit, no runs, and 3 strikeouts.
We replaced him with a pitcher who isn't as good, and hasn't played much... and we give up 2 runs and lose the game because of bad pitching and a bad throw-out attempt by the pitcher.
Make that 5 losses in a row, baby! One of the most experienced teams in the SBC, and the wheels are coming off!

Hope they turn it around but the last couple of seasons we have under performed. Since his best season in 2018 we have been declining. Record doesn't lie unfortunately 2021 so far 7-6 (5 losses in a row) 2020 (at covid shut down) 9-8 2019 31-29 2018 42-21 2017 31-25 2016 32-26

Coach Smartt is a great guy and a great coach. But I agree, something isn't right. We've got one or two players that will be MLB draft picks, and many other players that were highly-rated recruits... and we're losing to teams like Samford who don't recruit nearly the same caliber of players that Troy has.

You guys are kidding, right?
9-8 last year at COVID shutdown, but three of those were nail-biting losses AT No. 1 Florida.
This year's team is trying to replace TWO starting pitchers (Thomas, Roby) that got drafted in the MLB Draft when it was only FOUR rounds long.
Samford is not a slouch program like many that Troy will face in the midweek. Their records in the last five years: 13-2, 41-19, 37-26 (with regional win over FSU in the Seminoles' house), 33-26 and 35-26.
Troy faces great competition throughout the year. It's why we routinely have a shot at at-large bids into the NCAA Tournament. We're not going to win every game, especially in the early season when we're trying to rebuild a rotation.
We will be fine. Smartt will do, and has done, well.

How many times have we thought this team was on the verge of a big breakout season? The San Diego Chargers of Sun Belt baseball, always getting ready for a big year that never arrives.

They are doing wonders with mental health and counseling. You should look into it. Your infatuation with me is very unhealthy

We will be fine. Smartt will do, and has done, well. 8-1 Georgia Southern. Guess we're still waiting on that "will do" part..... One word: culture change.

This is sad.
Potentially one of the best Troy teams in history, is turning into a complete dud. We now have the 4th worst RPI in the Sun Belt... that's worse than ULM and freakin' Little Rock, who is never good.
I give up. Give me softball. They apparently know how to pitch and hit.

Saint (the king of Troy fans) insists you must except mediocrity or else you are not a Trojan. How dare you have an opinion. Please apologize to Saint and ask his forgiveness

Again Sir, we can't have anyone here that doesn't accept losing. If you do the King of Troy aka Saint will immediately give you a speech about positive thinking, accepting mediocrity and if you don't you are a miserable person whose kids don't want anything to do with you. Please refrain from any opinions that do not agree with his, please smile and accept losing and please under no circumstances do you wish for Troy to have the best of anything. If you don't he develops a hard on for you, stalks you and comments about you constantly. It is creepy. We must all conform to the King..I mean Saint. Please don't become his next hard on.

Baseball is currently 8-9 (still early in season) but here are the facts
6 wins were against Youngstown St and Jacksonville U. YSU currently (5-11) JU (5-10). 1 win vs Tulane currently (9-8) 1 against UAB (6-9)
Losses- 1 against YSU (5-11) Alabama (15-3) Swept by SE LA (11-6) 1 against Samford (7-10) 2 against Tulane (9-8) 1 against GA Southern (10-6)
We have one win against a team with a winning record (Tulane 9-8), Two losses to teams with a losing record (YSU 5-11) and Samford (7-10).
We have to be able to beat a good team. The time to correct is now heading into conference play.

Great job coming back and taking the series. Now lets get on a roll in the conference That’s the key. It isn’t sexy, but winning 2 out of 3 each weekend results in a 20-10 conference record (most years) and gets you more than halfway to 35 wins.
